IMPROVEMENT IN FOLDING WORK-STANDS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent N 0. [94,816, dated September 4, 187'} application filed July 23, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, ERV'IN G. GoLLNER, of the city, county, and State of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Folding Work-Stand, of which the following is a specification:

Figure 1 is a perspective View of my improved work-stand. Fig. 2 is a top view of the same, partly in section, to show the construction. Fig. 3 is a detail view of the joint at the foot.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object of this invention is to furnish an improved ladies and childrens work-stand, which shall be so constructed that it may be folded into a compact form for storage or transportation, and which shall be light, simple in construction, and neat in appearance.

The invention consists in the work-stand formed of the feet, the bars, the plates, the top cord or chain, and the handle, constructed and combined with each other, as hereinafter fully described.

A are four feet, to the upper end of each of which are pivoted two bars, B, the joints be ing strengthened by plates 0, that cover the ends of the bars B and receive the outer ends of the screws or rivets that pivot the ends of the said bars B. The plates 0 may extend down upon the foot A, and be attached to it by a nail, rivet, or screw, to strengthen the joint.

The bars B upon the adjacent sides of the adjacent feet A cross and are pivoted to each feet A, and are pivoted to small right-angled plates D by eyelets, through which is passed a cord or chain, E, which forms the top frame of the stand.

The top of the stand is provided with a cord, chain, or other handle, F, for convenience in moving it from place to place. The stands may be provided with baskets, the upper one of which rests upon the upper ends of the bars B, the middle one rests upon pins or small brackets Gr, attached to the bars B near their central pivots, and the lower one rests upon the upper ends of the feet A, or upon pins or brackets attached to said ends. The stands may be ornamented with tassels, or in any other desired way. With this construction the stand may be folded into a very compact form for storage or transportation, the has:

kets being nested, and may be sold with or without the baskets, as may be desired.

Having thus described myinvention, Iclaim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent The work-stand formed of the feet A, the bars B, the plates 0 D, the top cord or chain E, and the handle F. constructed and combined with each other, substantially as herein shown and described.
